Day 19 -- Laughter is the Best Medicine

Today while listening to NPR on my way to my haircut, I heard about some research showing how humor is improving the lives of Alzheimer's patients.  I think they said the research was done in Australia, but all I caught was an interview w/ an Alzheimer's expert at Mayo Clinics in Rochester.  He said that people who are able to make light of serious illnesses respond better to treatments and have a better quality of life.  Guess I've been taking the right approach by making jokes about my cancer.  Apparently laughter is the best medicine.
